Breaking the Anxiety Habit: Series Introduction | ES218
After a painful breakup, a client of mine found herself stuck in anxiety, replaying memories, stalking social media pages, and unable to let go.
Sometimes, even when something hurts us, peace can feel unfamiliar, and anxiety becomes the pattern we know best.
The truth is: anxiety isn’t always just a feeling. It’s a habit.
In this week's episode, I explore how anxiety can get wired into our thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs, and why it’s not your fault if you’re still stuck in it.
Over the next few weeks, starting Tuesday, I’ll be sharing a 5-part video series called Breaking the Anxiety Habit, where I guide you through the most common patterns that keep anxiety alive and how we can finally break free.
